The Citrus Festival.
It is a pagan festival where the folklore from the entire island is
on display.
Every town has flatbed pulled by a tractor or bulls and is a representation of a day in the
life of rural Sardinia from about a century ago. Each town is know for a specific craft from weaving to wheat growing to fisherman and so on.
Goat herds are mimicked by men wearing Sheep and goat heads, skins and bells.
After the festival we were invited by a local family (Antonio e Luciana) for a traditional lunch of "culirgionis" and fire roasted suckling pig with "mirto" The meal was amazing and the company so warm and inviting. We felt as if we had known them forever.
La ricetta of the day will come soon. My battery is low....
That elbow picture is FANTASTIC.
